Yancha Gal no Anjou-san - Ch. 196 - Tokio-kun Knows Chita-san Very Well

[Graywing]

Rip ramen shop. Thanks for the chapter!!!

 

[AkodoRyu]

Yeah like I think this chapter really hit on how much Chi is using food to distract from the fact that she's gotta think about the future & that's a good place to start poking/unraveling at, which looks like that's where the author is going w/ the closed ramen shop.

That's a good point.
All she does is hide, run, and deflect.
Distract herself from her two friends building their own relationships by screaming ntr and being a gremlin.
Avoid making career/life plans by traveling, eating, trying to make youtube videos, and anything else.
Interrupt any moment of closeness with Tokio with jokes, pranks, and changing the subject.
Now that the usaual plan has failed, we may be getting somewhere.

I don't understand the appeal of that girls personality. I wouldn't wont someone like her as a girlfriend, friend or even acquaintance. I've had a friend like her and the key word here is "had", that was very tiring relationship.

 

[lightingcloud]

lol wait how was this serie not taken down?

 

[ZeroHour17]

I feel like people are being pretty harsh on Chi, considering how little we actually know about her. Inuyama also fell pretty flat early on—back when all we knew was that he was Seto's friend and a pervert. That's roughly the level of development Chi has received so far.

One thing I do agree with is that this should mark the end of the setup phase. The author should now push the relationship forward, whichever direction it's going—be it love, friendship, or something else.

With the other two couples more or less wrapped up (the author could give each of them 2–3 chapters of epilogue—Seto and Anjou focusing on their relationship while navigating daily life, and Inuyama and Toyoda continuing to challenge and inspire each other artistically, with their romance developing more organically alongside their shared goals), I'm still most interested in seeing where this relationship is headed.

Because we’re 200 chapters in and she’s the same annoying, 1 dimensional character she was in chapter 1. It’s not like this is the first Chi chapter either, we’ve had Chi chapters before and she has not developed beyond what she was the first time we’ve seen her.

Alright, I'm willing to give this arc one more chapter for its grace period to get the damn ball rolling.
I understand thinking that people are being overly harsh, which they would be if this chapter existed in a vacuum. However, the last two chapters have been a retread of stuff that's already been retread in previous Chita/Tokio focused chapters. We're retreading stuff that's already been retread so naturally people's patience has grown thin.
I sincerely hope that the story does in fact address how long and vehemently Chita has been averting her eyes from reality, and that if she doesn't change something soon, such actions will be the very reason why the people around her would actually end up leaving her behind. Otherwise, this whole exercise in repetition would be incredibly futile, and the story would be better off if half or more of the previous Chita focused chapters were just nixed entirely.

This is the worst side ship I've ever seen ever. I'd rather a hundred episodes of Haruhi. I'd rather watch those dip shit brothers from Ouran. I'd rather sit through the entirety of HSDxD... TWICE. Awful pairing of characters.

 

[prankishmanx21]

Right. It feels so one-sided compared to the mutual respect and growing affection for the other two couples.

Like. This chick doesn't seem like someone who is emotionally ready for a relationship, let alone developing a crush on someone. Why does he like her? Because she's Always Been There?

That concept could be interesting to explore; developing a crush on a confident, self-assured person because they're comfortable to you. But I have a feeling the author is going to jerk the wheel and make them get together because we """need""" everyone paired off.

Honestly she almost comes off as aro/ace.

 

[vanCham]

Annoying fatty in the making.
Does her brain think of ANYTHING except stuffing herself full plus Anna?
Gremlin is going to turn into a complete lardass as soon as her body stops burning massive calories when her growth phase ends.

 

[vanCham]

Honestly she almost comes off as aro/ace.

That would be okay, maybe even interesting if she had something else going for her instead of just "MUST EAT, GOBBLE GOBBLE".

 

[CosmicWitch]

Honestly she almost comes off as aro/ace.

Yeah, exactly. As some other commenters have pointed out, she's definitely displaying deflective actions with food and general wishy-washy flippant attitudes.

But on the other hand, she just doesn't seem interested in romantic love. And developing that with Tokio who likes her seemingly because she's his magic pixie dream girl does a disservice to both characters.

I'm willing to sit through the ride, though.

 

[Luna-pyon]

Can we get back to the other two couples already? These two just aren't it.

 

[leeegion]

I feel like the author made this girl dumb as a brick and now they don't really know what to do in order to advance her story.

Probably more as a filler to flesh out the better storylines because both of them really have never mattered in the story.

 

[Mangamoz]

Was gonna joke that he is gonna get pegged.

And then she literally started finger fucking his ear.

Bro is doomed.

 

[Xkaumusic]

(breathes heavily)
Must... Keep... The optimism.
Chii is a... Interesting character.

I'm running out of copium, send help!

 

[Jebsu]

Nearly 200 chapters of peak and now this...

 

[Siendra]

Is Chi ones of those things where there's a huge disconnect between Japanese and Western audiences? Or does everyone dislike her character?

Tbh, don't feel like we are harsh because we had a bunch of chapters about them and the same thing is just repeating without any progress. It is always him feeling silly, her ignoring obvious things and then like 10 pages of food eating. Like we had the set up in the past already with him trying to confess but this is just getting boring.
Like if they get together now it would go against her character because fuck it feels like we need another 100 chapters to make her ready to like a person and don't talk about dating a person.

Tokio can do way better

Literally was thinking the same
